Confirmed: Senior playmaker duo sidelined for Tottenham v West Brom

West Brom caretaker manager Gary Megson has confirmed that James Morrison and Nacer Chadli will miss Saturday’s game against Tottenham at Wembley.

Morrison, 31, has been suffering with an Achilles injury for almost two months while Chadli, 28, will be denied a meeting against his former employers this weekend after tearing his thigh muscle.

Both playmakers are usually key in the Albion senior side, but injuries have hampered their game time this season while Tony Pulis opted to use more defensive midfielders than attacking ones before he was sacked earlier this week.

West Brom will be playing for the first time since showing Pulis the exit door on Monday and in his first press conference on Friday, Megson has confirmed that he will be without the two key players ahead of their game against Spurs.

“Nobody coming back for Spurs. It’s too early for James Morrison and Chadli. The good news is that we have no further injuries,” he said, as quoted by the Baggies’ official Twitter account.
